Book Review of The Glass Castle

The Glass Castle
The Glass Castle
Author: Jeannette Walls
Genre: Biographies & Memoirs
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed on


One of the most memorable books I've ever read. It will haunt me for a long time to come, reminding me of so much that is unseen and/or ignored. While this book brings the family members into the light and out of the shadows, the loving acceptance of the author for her dysfunctional family is inspirational. The resilience of Walls and her siblings pays homage to the indomitable human spirit that refuses to give up under agonizing and oppressive circumstances.
